Product details
Overview
SN74LVCH16952ADL from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit registered transceiver with 3-state outputs, designed for bidirectional data flow between A and B buses in 1.65-V to 3.6-V systems. It features dual 8-bit register sets, bus-hold inputs, Ioff partial-power-down support, and mixed-mode 5-V-tolerant inputs - enabling use as a level translator in 3.3-V/5-V mixed-signal interfaces such as memory expansion or FPGA-to-ASIC interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the SN74LVCH16952ADL datasheet, SN74LVCH16952ADL pinout, SN74LVCH16952ADL application, or SN74LVCH16952ADL equivalent, key selection criteria include tpd ≤6.6 ns at 3.3 V, 56-pin SSOP (DL) package compatibility, 16-bit registered buffering with independent clock/enable control per direction, and bus-hold functionality eliminating external pull resistors.
Technical Context
The SN74LVCH16952ADL implements two independent 8-bit D-type flip-flop banks - one for A→B and another for B→A data paths - each controlled by dedicated CLK, CE, and OE signals. Data latching occurs on the low-to-high clock transition when CE is low, and outputs enter high-impedance state when OE is high.
Its Ioff circuitry disables all outputs during power-down to prevent backflow current, while bus-hold inputs maintain valid logic levels on floating A/B data lines without external components. Input tolerance up to 5.5 V enables direct interfacing with 5-V logic in 3.3-V VCC systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 1.65 V to 3.6 V - supports modern low-voltage logic domains including 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V systems |
| Max Propagation Delay (tpd) | 6.6 ns at VCC = 3.3 V - ensures timing-critical 16-bit parallel bus operation up to 150 MHz clock frequency |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 5.5 V - allows direct connection to legacy 5-V peripherals without level-shifting circuitry |
| Ioff Support | Active during power-down - blocks reverse current flow between powered and unpowered system domains |
| Bus-Hold Inputs | Integrated on all A/B data pins - eliminates need for external pullup/pulldown resistors on unused or unterminated lines |
| Output Drive Strength | ±24 mA at VCC = 3.0 V - sufficient to drive standard CMOS loads across PCB traces and moderate fanout |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM - meets industrial-grade robustness requirements |
Pinout & Package

| 1CLKAB, 2CLKAB, 1CLKBA, 2CLKBA | Register Clock (positive-edge) | Samples A or B bus data into D-flip-flops on rising edge when corresponding CE is low |
| 1CEAB, 2CEAB, 1CEBA, 2CEBA | Register Clock Enable (active-low) | Gates clock propagation to flip-flops; low = clock active, high = latch holds previous state |
| A1–A8, B1–B8 (x2 sets) | Bidirectional Data I/O | 16-bit parallel data ports with bus-hold and 5.5-V tolerant inputs; outputs drive ±24 mA |
| VCC, GND (x8 total) | Power & Ground | Distributed supply/ground pins minimize switching noise and improve signal integrity across wide bus |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit registered transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74LVC16245ADGGR | No internal registers; non-latched 3-state transceiver only - lacks clocked storage and timing control | Suitable for simple bus buffering without synchronization; cannot replace registered behavior in timing-critical paths | Select SN74LVC16245ADGGR only if clocked registration is unnecessary and lower propagation delay (5.2 ns) is prioritized over data retention |
| SN74AVC16T245DGGR | Auto-direction sensing, no separate CLK/CE/OE controls; supports 1.2-V to 3.6-V VCC and higher speed (tpd = 3.2 ns) | Better for dynamic bidirectional buses (e.g., I²C-like protocols); unsuitable where independent A→B/B→A control and register staging are required | Choose SN74AVC16T245DGGR for compact, auto-directional translation; retain SN74LVCH16952ADL when explicit clocked staging and dual-port control are mandatory |
Compared with SN74LVC16245ADGGR and SN74AVC16T245DGGR, the SN74LVCH16952ADL uniquely provides dual 8-bit registered paths with independent clock/enable per direction - essential for synchronous data capture, pipeline staging, and deterministic timing in memory-mapped or real-time control interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SN74LVCH16952ADL?
The SN74LVCH16952ADL supports a maximum clock frequency of 150 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V, as specified in the timing requirements table. This rating assumes proper signal integrity, load capacitance ≤50 pF, and ambient temperature within –40°C to +85°C. At lower VCC (e.g., 1.8 V), max frequency reduces to 130 MHz due to reduced drive strength and increased propagation delay.
Does the SN74LVCH16952ADL require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its data lines?
No, the SN74LVCH16952ADL integrates bus-hold circuitry on all A and B port data inputs, which actively maintains valid logic levels on floating or unterminated lines. Using external pull resistors with bus-hold enabled is not recommended, as it may cause excessive current draw or logic instability. The feature eliminates BOM components and simplifies PCB layout for high-density 16-bit interfaces.
Can the SN74LVCH16952ADL operate safely when one side of the bus is powered and the other is not?
Yes, the SN74LVCH16952ADL includes Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs during partial power-down, preventing damaging current backflow between powered and unpowered sections of the system. This capability is verified per JESD 78 and supports hot-plug and modular system designs where subsystems may be powered independently - a key requirement for industrial PLCs and telecom line cards.
What package type is used for the SN74LVCH16952ADL, and is it compatible with standard SSOP footprints?
The SN74LVCH16952ADL uses the DL package: a 56-pin Shrink Small-Outline Package with 0.5-mm lead pitch, 13.9 mm × 6.1 mm body size, and 1.2-mm maximum height. It conforms to JEDEC MO-194 and is mechanically compatible with standard SSOP-56 land patterns. Thermal resistance θJA is 56°C/W, and the device is rated for reflow up to 260°C (MSL Level-1).
How does the SN74LVCH16952ADL handle level translation between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains?
The SN74LVCH16952ADL accepts input voltages up to 5.5 V while operating from a 1.65-V to 3.6-V VCC supply, enabling direct 5-V-to-3.3-V translation on all A and B port inputs. Outputs swing rail-to-rail (0 V to VCC) and are 5.5-V tolerant in high-impedance state. This mixed-mode operation is achieved without external components and is fully characterized across temperature and voltage ranges in the official datasheet.
